The Jewish calendar can be a funny thing. I chose to label this post with a little extra - the year, 5774 since the creation of the world. (I know, I know). The reason for that is that last year's #BlogElul 3 was also Bless. I was a little surprised at first, until I realised … Continue reading #BlogElul 3: Bless, 5774 Edition

Review – iHomeFitness.com
So ... I went to a networking meeting the other week, and I met a lovely young lady named Ruth-Anne Penner. Ruth is a fitness professional who used to work at the Reh-Fit, and now she's got her own company, iHomeFitness.com. It's a virtual gym where you can watch over two hundred 20-minute videos and … Continue reading Review – iHomeFitness.com
If I Told You …
So this was my Facebook status the other day. Deliberately provocative, as you can see, and as I hoped, I got lots of responses. I am blessed with the most generous, thoughtful, wonderful friends ever, and they gave me the gift of their gut response (which was almost unanimously "No", by the way). Then they … Continue reading If I Told You …
I Love the Smell of Facebook in the Morning … But I’m Giving it Up
OK, now you really think I'm nuts. Smell of Facebook? What's that about? And why would you give up smelling (or reading, I guess that's more accurate) Facebook in the morning? If you are like me (and I know a lot of people are), you sleep with your phone not too far away. I confess … Continue reading I Love the Smell of Facebook in the Morning … But I’m Giving it Up
OMG I Made a Video – an Important One
Today I did something I've never done before. That's why there is no pretty Flickr picture on this post. I brought up Movie Maker on my computer (did I even know I had it?) and made a video of me talking into the webcam. Sitting outside on my deck, no proper background, not well centred, … Continue reading OMG I Made a Video – an Important One
30 Day Challenge: Back to Square One
Sigh. Life never goes the way you want it to, does it? Sometimes you just have to accept the signals from the Universe telling you to SLOW DOWN. So that flareup I've been talking about decided to rear its ugly head and knock me down. I think it's probably a combination of too much, too … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: Back to Square One
30 Day Challenge: Adapt
I guess you can't get rid of 27 years of inflammation and intestinal damage in 30 days. Also, as I've mentioned before, Isagenix is not magic. It is an extremely effective nutritional support system, but the work has to happen inside. Just to recap: when this Real Food Girl started using just one shake every … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: Adapt
30 Day Challenge: The Cleanse
My quick-witted readers will have noted that I have now moved beyond the 30 day limit. Heck, I'm just doing another 30 days, why not? It's doing well for me. I'm not going to be doing this forever, but for now it is working. Yesterday I did a complete cleanse day for the first time … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: The Cleanse
30 Day Challenge: Results
Well, folks, there you have it. The result of my first 30 day challenge on Isagenix. I didn't do everything perfectly, but I'm quite pleased with my results. I lost 2.5 kgs, which is about 5.5 lbs. Given that I am now only about 8 lbs above the Weight Watchers goal weight I set back … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: Results
30 Day Challenge: It’s Not Magic
Many people in our society are looking for a magic pill, something they can just take and all their problems will disappear. There may be companies out there that make that kind of ridiculous claim, but Isagenix is not one of them. If you buy our products but don't make any effort to change your … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: It’s Not Magic
